BlogNews that former Banque du Liban governor Riad Salameh has begun a hunger strike while in detention has sparked strong reactions across Lebanon. At the same time, he noted that he was also among the millions who lost savings and investments during Lebanon’s financial collapse. Rather than focusing on Salameh’s hunger strike, Karam argued that this could be his opportunity to finally reveal who else was involved. Sam El Khoury: “Lebanon doesn’t need another martyr, it needs a witness”Environmental activist Sam El Khoury took an even firmer stance, arguing that a hunger strike serves no one if the truth remains hidden. He argued that a confession would carry far more weight than a hunger strike, saying the people who lost their savings deserve to know who was responsible.
